"Lo, my beloved speaks to me:"
— Song Of Solomon 2:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;”
“For, lo, the winter is past; The rain is over and gone; ”
“For, behold, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone.”
“Look! The winter has passed, the winter rains are over and gone.”
“For winter is now past, the rain is over and gone.”
“For, see, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;”
“For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;”
Bride to Chorus: The voice of my beloved! Behold, he arrives leaping along the mountains, jumping across the hills.
My beloved is like a doe and like a young stag.
Lo, he stands beyond our wall, gazing through the windows, watching through the lattices.
Lo, my beloved speaks to me:
Groom to Bride: Rise up, quickly, my love, my dove, my shapely one, and advance.
For winter has now past; the rain has decreased and gone away.
The flowers have appeared in our land; the time for pruning has arrived. The voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.
